Rupert(adopted)

8" (20cm)

Rupert is an antique looking bear, made of high Quality real antique mohair, from a sofa owned by my grandmother.
He has black shiny glass eyes. two old ribbons and a badge.
His nose is embroidered waxed black cotton, He is stuffed with polyester fiber and steel shot to give him extra weight.
He has this lovely glance over him, he is really lovely.
The old mohair used for Rupert has been thoroughly washed, several times. The fabric is still very strong, I plucked it more to give it a worn look.
On his feed pads the letter "R" is written, probably by his previous owner? ;)
